For everyone who moaned about my lack of protective gear on my bike here I am now wearing a jacket, boots and sun glasses to protect my eyes. BTW already managed to sell the red bike in amazingly quick time. makes me think I should have asked for more money!
Lots of little tubes in the early flowering in bushland around melbourne. They occur in the heathy forests and it seems the long tubes encourage birds like honeyeaters and discourage predators like ants - who might eat the deeply-placed ovules and thus mean that seeds won't develop. But the birds with long beaks go for the nectar. This particular plant varies in its flowers - plain cream or red and cream - but the same species. Below are more pics and one of its habitat.

Sequel to sanctuary
This is becoming a mini series in its own right - I love nests - they're so interesting to photograph and can take on so many different meanings

This is the last of the Forsythia for the year, but not the snails !!!!
I have a garden full of them :)))
Barely moving, hiding almost in the little ripples on the water, until something moves. When it does, things happen fast - I missed a shot of a gator jumping out of the water after a flying green heron by a fraction of a second.

Fall Break 2015: "South Florida Immersion"
October 24th: 23 years later, we return to the Everglades.
Richelieu, Indre-et-Loire, France.
Wine shop at the Place du Marché (or Place du Cardinal).
Richelieu was designed as the 'ideal city' of the 17th century, a model 'new town'. It was built at the order of Cardinal Richelieu (1585–1642), who had spent his youth here and bought the village of his ancestors.
Old Richelieu is about 700 meters long by 500 meters wide. It is accessible by three monumental gates; a fourth, dummy gate exists to respect the symmetry of the whole.
The urban plan revolves around two symmetrically arranged places: Place Royale (now Place des Réligieux) and the Place du Cardinal (now Place du Marché), in which are grouped the presbytery, the 'audience' (now the town hall), a covered open market hall (still surviving, with wooden pillars and roof beams) and shops.
The town is the subject of protective measures for its architecture.

The Sound of Silence - Sundarbans at Blue Hour
Sundarbans - A magical place where the boundaries between the rivers and the lands getting blurred!
The Sundarbans (সুন্দরবন, Shundorbôn) is the largest single block of tidal halophytic salt-tolerant mangrove forest in the world. The Sundarbans serves a crucial function as a natural protective barrier for the millions of inhabitants in cyclone-prone delta region.
The Sundarbans provides a unique ecosystem and a rich wildlife habitat. According to the 2011 tiger census, the Sundarbans have about 270 Royal Bengal Tigers (Panthera tigris tigris). The Sundarbans became inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 and has also been enlisted among the finalists in the New7Wonders of Nature.

Walking on the trail this morning I spotted leaves moving in the creek. Until I zoomed I couldn't even see what it was. Green Heron, playing in the water and leaves by Oso Creek.
Gotta love those green legs and feet! And the color is not enhanced in any way.

Speaking to strength of tradition and one’s ancestors, these Apsaalooké-style beaded cuffs are made from layers of Kevlar ballistic fabric, a material five-times stronger than steel. Not unlike the cuffs adorning the wrists of the Wonder Woman character (of past and present), these too are bullet proof, protective fashion accessories for facing colonialism and its perpetrators.
Low level waste (LLW) at Sellafield was mainly protective clothing, tools and equipment contaminated in day to day operations. Prior to 1995 it was bagged and consigned to skips like the one on the right of this picture.
Heavier items, metal, rubble etc. were placed in heavy duty versions like the skip on the left.
The flat wagons used were former OBAs with their sides removed, floors modified to secure the skips and were designated PFA. However, they were a more basic design and of longer wheelbase than the later version of PFA acquired by DRS.
